Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a driving method of a light source (iamP), and in particular to a projection device (P_ection, spleen plus (4)) The driving method of the light source. [Previous Art] Referring to FIG. 1A, a projection device 100 includes a light source 110, a liquid crystal on silicon panel (LCOS panel) 120, a projection lens 130, and a color wheel. (color wheel) 140 and a polarization beam splitting prism l50. Light source 110 emits an illumination beam 112. The color wheel 140 is disposed on the transmission path of the illumination beam 112, and has a red filter 142r, a green filter 142g, and a blue filter 142b, so that the illumination beam 112 is converted into red light 112r according to timing. Green light 112g and blue light 112b. The polarization splitter 150 is disposed on the transmission path of the illumination beam 112 to reflect a portion of the illumination beam 112 having an s-polarization direction to the single crystal solar panel 120. The single crystal solar panel 120 converts the image beam 112 into an image beam 122 having a p-polarization direction and reflects the image beam 122 to the projection lens 13A. Referring to Figures 1A and 1B, reference numeral 50 of Figure 1B is a spot of illumination beam 112 projected onto color wheel 140. Since the color wheel 14 is composed of a plurality of filters 142 of different colors, at the junction 144 of the adjacent two filters 142, the time T1 passing through the left end of the horizontal line 52a of the spot 50 to the junction 144 passes through the right end of the horizontal line 52a. During the time period 12, the level 5 200847088 χ χ / / ^ ^.2817twf.doc/p line 52a will simultaneously fall on the two different color filters i42, thus producing two different colors of light. Therefore, during the period from time T1 to time T2, the single crystal silicon solar panel 120 is in a closed state, resulting in a decrease in image redundancy, and the energy efficiency of the projection apparatus 100 is low. Referring to Fig. 1C, for the same reason, the same problem occurs during the period from the time T3 at the right end of the horizontal line 52b of the spot 50 to the time T4 at which the boundary 144 passes the left end of the horizontal line 52b. 10 Referring to FIG. 1A and FIG. 2, a driving method of a light source is applied to a lamp with the same absolute current (current value equal to ^ or ±) regardless of whether the single crystal silicon liquid crystal panel 120 is in an on state or a closed state. The source is configured to cause the light source 110 to emit light. Specifically, the light source 11 发 emits the illumination beam 112 of the same brightness when the single crystal stone liquid crystal panel 120 is in an open state or a closed state. However, when the single crystal cut liquid crystal panel 120 is turned off (e.g., during the time-to-time period), the light emitted from the light source 11A cannot be utilized by the projection device 100. Therefore, application of current to the lamp source 110 during the period in which the crystallizer panel 12 is turned off causes waste of power source unnecessarily, making the energy efficiency of the projection device 100 low. In addition, in a projection apparatus using a ferroelectric liquid crystal panel, since the total of the driving voltages of the ferroelectric liquid crystal panel in each cycle time (for example, 100 sec to 1 second) is required to be zero, the DC balance is maintained. (DC balance) 'So the ferroelectric LCD panel needs to be turned on and off alternately. In other words, the ferroelectric liquid crystal panel is turned on for half of the time and the other half is turned off during each cycle. Similarly, the application of current to the light source during the period when the ferroelectric liquid crystal panel is turned off will cause 6-2817 tw/doc/p 200847088, and the source is wasted waste-making the projection device (four) energy [invention] The present invention provides a light source carving The projection device method of the driving method of the sacred earth _ to extract the special or partial or all purpose or other purpose of the singulation of the light source (4), and the present invention proposes a driving method of the light source For - projection device. The projection device has a light valve and a light source. The driving method of the light source is to make the light source exhibit a plurality of different kinds of light according to various states of the light valve. In the present invention, the light has a ride with a slight opening; the green-green may include the following steps. When the paste is turned on = the thin brightness is - the second brightness, wherein the second is bright; = the light is turned off. In the embodiment of the invention, the light source (10) can be applied to the same brightness every time the light valve is turned on: The brightness is the same when the source is closed. - Source prior valve mother-off In the embodiment of the invention, the first brightness of the driving of the light source changes with the light valve each time === light source two brightness with the light valve each time off _ Changed. In the embodiment of the present invention, the light source driving method DC signal applies - the first current and the less than the first current to the light source to change the brightness of the light source. 2817 twf.doc / p 200847088 may apply a first current to the light source; and when the light valve is closed, a second current may be applied to the light source. In an embodiment of the invention, the method of driving the light source may include an alternating current The signal alternately applies a first positive current, a second positive current, two first negative currents, and a second negative current to the light source to change the brightness of the light source. In an embodiment of the invention, when the light valve is open The flow of the packet applied to the light source may be a first positive current or a first negative current; and when the light valve is closed, the current applied to the light source may be a second positive current or a second negative current. The current is greater than the first positive current, and the absolute value of the first negative current is greater than the absolute value of the second negative current. Furthermore, before the current applied to the light source changes from the second positive current to the first negative current, The current applied to the light source increases; and is applied to the light source Before the flow from the second negative current to the first positive current, the absolute value of the current applied to the light source can be increased first. In the embodiment of the invention, when the light valve is closed, the current applied to the light source can be a first positive current or a first negative current; and when the light valve is open, the current applied to the light source may be a second positive current or a second negative current. wherein the first positive current is less than the second positive current The absolute value of a negative current is less than the absolute value of the second negative current. In addition, the driving method of the light source may further include applying to the current before the current applied to the light source changes from the second positive current to the first negative current. The current of the light source is increased; and before the current applied to the light source changes from the second negative current to the first positive current, the absolute value of the current applied to the light source may be increased first. In an embodiment of the invention The time elapsed after the light valve is opened 2N times and the 2N second is turned off is one cycle, and is applied to the light source 8 200847088 in each cycle. The current of the c/p is substantially zero, and N is, for example, 3 Or other positive integer. The driving method of the light source is based on A variety of states of light allow the light source to exhibit a variety of different brightnesses. For example, this method can lower the brightness of the light source when the light valve is closed, and increase the brightness of the light source when the light valve is turned on. The driving method of the light source of the present invention can effectively improve the energy efficiency of the projection device using the same.

Referring to FIG. 3, in the embodiment, the light width can be directly opened with a sadness and a closed state, and the light valve will alternately open the fish. 9! 2817twf.doc/p 200847088 The closing method can include the following steps. . When the light valve is open, make _ true; M Ll. In addition, when #细_, the original brightness jL' and the second brightness l2 are smaller than the first-level production 1 °, the brightness corresponding to the average output power of the light source is the average brightness ^ § ± &gt; 2 B% < Ll. In this embodiment, the party of the light source is the same every time the light valve is turned on, and P, and the original y» are the same. And the brightness of the light source is the same when the first valve is turned off. The embodiment can be controlled by - exchange of m plus - first positive current, a first positive current h, a first negative current L and a second, Point =!, to change the brightness of the light source. When the light valve is open, the application is: positive current 11 or first negative current l3, and when the light is off, the current applied to the light source may be the second positive current 12 or the second negative current and the second positive current I ??? is greater than the second positive current I2, and the absolute value of the first negative power = 13 is greater than the absolute value of the second negative current U. For example, between the 糸 山 至 至 至 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光 光Between the time and the day, the light valve is closed, and the current applied to the light source is the second positive current 12 such that the brightness of the light source is the second brightness L·2. Between time 屯 and time A, the light valve is turned on, and the current applied to the light source is the first negative current l3' such that the brightness of the light source is the first brightness L1. Between time &amp; time 屯, the light valve is closed, and the current applied to the light source is the second negative current U such that the shell of the light source is the second brightness ^2. In addition, the absolute value of the first positive current I and the negative negative current I3 may be the same, and the second positive current. The absolute value of the second negative flow 14 can also be the same. ~i2817twf.doc/p 200847088 Undertake the above, because the light beam provided by the light source will not be _, (4) in the correction __low light _ brightness, can have J energy f energy. Further, the brightness of the light source is raised when the light valve is opened, so that the first shell degree 1^ is larger than the average brightness Lavg' so that the brightness of the projection device can be effectively improved.

It should be noted that when the current applied to the lamp source changes from positive to negative or negative to negative, there will be zero current at a certain moment, and it is easy to make the light source blink. In order to improve this problem, the absolute value of the current may be slightly increased when the current applied to the light source is changed from positive to negative or negative to positive, so that the brightness of the light source is slightly increased. In this way, the user does not easily feel that the light source is flickering due to the effect of the persistence of the human eye. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the current applied to the light source is from the second positive current. The current applied to the lamp source can be increased before becoming the first negative current I3. Similarly, the absolute value of the current applied to the lamp source can be increased before the current applied to the lamp source changes from the second negative current L to the first positive current 〖1. For example, at the instant before time d3, a current of 1$ is applied to the light source, and the intensity of the light source is the shell degree L3. Similarly, at the instant before 4, the current source is applied to the light source, and the light source is rendered to have a brightness L3. The current I5 is slightly larger than the first current I2, and the current 16 is slightly smaller than the second negative current 14. In the present embodiment, the time elapsed after the visible light valve is turned on 2N times and turned off 2N times is one period P, and the current applied to the light source 11 200847088 in each period p is a c/p current and substantially zero. . The value of N is, for example, related to the number of colors of the calender of the color wheel. Specifically, if the color wheel includes a red calender sheet and a blue filter ', the value of N is 3. The light emitted by the light source in each period P can be sequentially changed to red light R, green light G and blue light B after passing through the color wheel. The light valve is turned on, for example, six times in each period p to sequentially pass the red light R, the green light G, the blue light B, the red light R, the green light g, and the blue light B. It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the color and arrangement order of the respective patches of the color wheel.
